SOLVED: Cant get videos to play

[Slugger 94]

I'm using TrueNAS scale, and I downloaded the jellyfin APP on it.
I set up 3 different Locations for video storage so I can organize my files smoothly (working as intended. videos all show up in the correct location on Jellyfin, despite not being able to play.)

Media file type:
MP4 (recorded on iPhone and uploaded to PC then to the NAS jellyfin file)
Hardware:
Old dell OptiPlex 790 w/ i5-2400
Drive is 750gb HDD
App Version: 10.8.13.1
Chart Version: 1.2.7
___________________________________________________________________________________

• I keep getting this when attempting to play a video
  

"This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format."

• ffmpeg. transcode Log reports
  

" test-1.mp4: Permission denied "

• the log in TrueNAS reports:
  

...."Slow HTTP Response from http://192.168.0.103:30013/Sessions/Playing/Stopped to 192.168.0.104 in 0:00:01.5160504 with Status Code 204"

- I can't find a solution for either of these error reports.
